Twelve British Statisticians

"Twelve British Statisticians provides a description of the lives and contributions of a dozen scientific luminaries. Their fields of expertise sometimes include disciplines that depart from statistics and display great versatility. Each statistician is a famous figure, but is especially renowned in Great Britain. The book is accessible to a wide reading audience.

Each chapter focuses on the scientific contributions and personal life of a single statistician. Each chapter begins with an overview and contains a rich set of references.

Current textbooks in statistics contain little information about the pioneers in the field. This book provides a historical supplement in courses on quantitative methods in the behavioral, social, and biological disciplines.

The statisticians and some of their contributions covered include:
1. Karl Pearson: product-moment correlation.
2. R.A. Fisher: analysis of variance and covariance, experimental design, common sampling distributions.
3. Charles Spearman: factor analysis, theory of intelligence, mental test theory.
4. Florence Nightingale David: advocate of women's vocational rights in statistics, distinguished educator.
5. George Udny Yule: time series, contingency table analysis.
6. Maurice G. Kendall: generation of and tests for randomness, time series.
7. George E.P. Box: statistical quality control, analysis of time series.
8. William Sealy Gosset ("Student"): small sample statistical techniques, contributions to Neyman-Pearson theory.
9. Egon Sharpe Pearson: Neyman-Pearson theory, history of statistics.
10. Francis Ysidro Edgeworth: polymath mathematical psychics, editor of the Economics Journal.
11. Maurice S. Bartlett: stochastic processes, epidemiology, time series.
12. David Cox: multivariable models including covariates and treatment variables, survival rate.

Why must I activate my Adobe Reader?

Many publishers require powerful copy protection for their eBook titles. In order for you to be able to purchase and download eBook titles that have been secured for distribution, you first need to activate your Adobe Reader. Just as a credit card typically must be activated by a bank before use, your Adobe Reader needs to be activated before you can purchase and read eBooks packaged for secure distribution.

Can I print or copy my Adobe ebook?

To protect copyrights, publishers and authors establish their own guidelines for how much of their eBooks can be printed or copied. This means that these permissions will differ from book to book. Each ebook file has a differing level of encryption which is controlled by the author/publisher at creation. For example, a publisher might give users the ability to print several pages of a cookbook within a set period of time. You'll see specifc settings for the Adobe title under the ebook description.
